This smoke and mirrors
Is my pain
As I walk in your memory
I fall alone
On unspent words
My hair,
Lifelessly pressed
Against the glass.
I’ve learned about my veins
That run across
My open palms;
For too long have I
Looked into thee
For an answer
I cannot find.
And so my last drip of blood
Drawn from me
For you
Shall stain the soul
From whence I came
And follow me
Into the rain.
Behind the mirrors
Our visage casts shadows
Reminding reflections
To concentrate
On beauty whispering
Loosely knit circles
About the thick surface
Looking back
Don’t cry into an uneven pillbox
Shuffling against the rainbow mirrors
I can see you shifting madly
I can see your soul aglow
Haven’t you seen my stardust
I left it by the tower
It’s pounded into them
Some recesses out at sea
But if you’ve come to know me
Then cry at my back doors
For I shall treat you kindly
Without qualm or unnecessary greed
Dive with me into madness
And sugar coat it as we play
I cried
Into a pillow full of butter
Melted away my heart
Stung the years gone
Dangling carelessly
In front of mirrors
As slow drips splash
Erasing my memory
Flirting uncontrollably
With anarchy
